Don't deal with shopkeepers on OLX! They are scamming b@stards!

[XPremiuM]

as he is running feature ads then he must paid and give details to olx
why not contact olx that your premium sellers are doing fraud may be they can do anything or atleast block him from olx so other people could not be victimized by him

I had already done that. They replied with the below email (there was no folow-up to this):

As for the scammer, OLX had already blocked him after the day i got scammed.

It's been 4 days since i submitted the complaint. I haven't received any response from FIA. Not even an acknowledgement...

I guess there's no hope. The scammer will probably get away with it.

You should have complained to your bank. They may have been able to reverse the money transfer.

By the time i realized that I've been scammed, it was probably too late for that. The scammer would've withdrawn the money from his account.

so if Pakistan gets blacklisted by FATF we shouldn't be surprised...

In case if anyone is wondering, i have still not received any form of acknowledgement from FIA.

No wonder people don't bother sending them complaints. It is pointless after all.

Which city you are in ?
If you could visit FIA Cyber Crime office in person, they are really helpful, or at least pretend to be.
Via email their response is usually slow and takes about a fortnight.
